Pearce Foundation Applications open 2027

Pearce Foundation 2027 applications are now open.

Applications close on 15 November 2026.

We’re inviting small, early-stage charities, CICs and not-for-profit social enterprises working in Sussex to apply to become a Pearce Foundation Partner, starting in February 2027.

Our More Than Money approach combines a grant of up to £2,000 with nine months of tailored support, helping leaders step back, reflect and focus on what matters most for them and their organisations.

Alongside regular 1-to-1 check-ins, Partners can access Skill-Sharers, peer support and practical tools and resources to help them lead with confidence and build stronger organisational foundations.

To be eligible, organisations must:
– Have been operating for two years or less
– Have an annual income under £50,000
– Be based in Sussex

You can find our eligibility criteria and support details available on our Useful Information page, or visit Apply Now.

Not sure if the programme is right for you? Book a friendly 15-minute call with Jane, our Founder, by emailing jane@pearcefoundation.org.uk.

If you know of a local charity that might benefit, please share this opportunity with them.

Thank you!
